Weltall your points are completely ridiculous as they completely ignore every point that myself and ABF have laid forth over the years. This is just getting annoying now, making us repeat ourselves over and over.
Palpatine has far greater motives for doing what he did than any Star Trek movie villain has. There's the revenge part that ABF is talking about, but that's something you'll learn more about in Episode III (among other things). But there's also the Hitler comparison, where he manipulated a people to basically hand over power to him because he seemed exactly what they needed. And when he did finally gain power he did in fact fix many of the problems with the Republic, much like Hitler did with Germany, and again like Hitler at the cost of freedom and democracy. And you get all of that information with very little screen presence across five movies, if you actually pay attention (which you apparently did not). And much, much more will be explained in Episode III.
WOAH, you mean a real-life historical figure is a more complex human being with more complex motives than a fictional fairy tale villain??!! That's INSANE!!!
